    First time Ghost Dad

    And another thing is that the industry collusion on a $400 bat is an equity issue for the sport and kids that can't afford them. Not Eastons fault alone but sad nonetheless.

    First time Ghost Dad

    I'm chuckling at the absurdity of a thread about how to baby a bat and the fact that every serious softball player I know with a ghost has two because one has broken. I maintain my speculation that Easton intentionally makes bats that break to sell two at a time to one player and because it...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Lock the thread. Nobody is going to change their opinion or learn about the issue in a unique way here but comaraderie over the common love of softball may be lost in the political shuffle.

    D3 pitching speed

    I haven't seen this girl but I have seen elite 16U and 18U teams get very frustrated against slow super spinny pitchers that can mix and spot while hammering fast pitchers with fewer tools.

    POLL~ on this pitchers reaction

    Don't like it but not that big of a deal.

    Stepping up to a -11

    If you have a lot of dough get a ghost and you can replace it while you wait for the warranty to come back. If not get a Demarini, LS, or Mizuno.

    Stepping up to a -11

    I have seen far more young girls suffer from a bat that's too heavy than from one that is too light. We had a girl on my daughter's team at 10U swinging a drop 10 grandpa bought. We traded with my daughter who was stronger swinging a drop 11 after I told the-10 parents it was too heavy. She...

    Travel Time for Practice

    I don't think you understand what is going on here 😂

    Travel Time for Practice

    1 hour 15 minutes there and 35 minutes home due to traffic. 2 to 3x per week in season. Totally worth it though we drive by about 5 other viable teams on the way.

    Oklahoma Recruiting Class

    Can't we all just virtually get along?

    Becoming a pitcher only?

    I don't think there is more likelihood of injury, just a massive impact for the team when P1 tears an ACL/MCL/PCL etc.

    Becoming a pitcher only?

    It happened for us at second year 14U and when we joined a team where the replacement hitter was not a massive drop-off. As she was P1, the physical and emotional toll of pitching a lot made her migrate to being happy with that. I liked it because it protected her from increasingly costly...

    Dad with some questions about my new pitcher?

    Makes sense...I'd add that what a pitcher is trying to achieve is deception of the hitter and I think the spin while less important in raw inches may be more important in deception.

    Dad with some questions about my new pitcher?

    I think that makes sense in terms of what they are looking for in a recruit vs an elite pitcher.

    Dad with some questions about my new pitcher?

    I was recently at a camp of a top 20 program. The head coach spent about 2 hours with pitchers parked in front of a rapsodo analyzing their data. On a rise ball they are trying to get 8+ inches of deviation from path (this is measured as vertical break on the rapsodo) at elite levels (most...

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    If she's in socal, there has to be a more competitive team where she could start or at least play a lot. I'd go there unless she has a lot of untapped potential that can be developed to get plenty of playing time on the elite team...also, does she play SD or OF also? More options than one...

    Clearwater Invitational

    Looked to me like some lacked a truly effective change that could be located on any count. Biggest issue though seems to be the combination of being unable to precisely locate multiple pitches coupled with the brutal strike zone leaving absolutely no margin for error. So many pitchers gave...
